The 59 dead and over 500 injured victims at a Las Vegas concert are
heavy on the mind of Justin Bieber. In a new video, the singer is
reminding music fans to stay strong and not let fear take over in the
wake of the violence.
Any artist who has played a concert to thousands of adoring fans has to
be thinking about the carnage that happened while country star Jason Aldean,
40, was performing Oct. 1 during a festival in Las Vegas. A gunman
opened fire on his fans from the window of a nearby casino, killing 59
and injuring over 500 in our country’s deadliest mass shooting. The incident was definitely on Justin Bieber‘s
mind when cameras caught up to the singer on a morning stroll down
Melrose Ave. on Oct. 2. “We just have to stay strong and not let fear
take over, you know? It’s a scary thing,” he revealed with a sad tone in
his voice.
AS for if he’s ever had a security scare of his own at one of his shows
that could have made Beliebers targets of violence, he assured the
cameraman, “No, nothing like that, no.” Well, that’s good news for his
fans, but he also delivered some bad news in the process. When asked if
he’s going to beef up security at his concerts in the wake of the Las
Vegas massacre, he revealed, “Well, right now I don’t plan on doing any
shows.” He had performances scheduled throughout the fall at stadiums
across the U.S., but scrapped the remainder of his Purpose World Tour
in July after suffering from road fatigue following 18 months on
crisscrossing the world. It looks like he’s sticking to his word and
staying away from performing for a while. See pics from the Las Vegas
shooting, here.
Those caught up in the horrific violence in Las Vegas were on the
Biebs’ mind and he said, “My love and my prayers” go out to the victims
and their families. Aldean had just began his set at the Route 91
Harvest Fest outdoor concert in Las Vegas shortly after 10pm when
retired accountant Stephen Paddock, 64, opened fire on
the audience with high-powered rifles from the 32nd floor of the
Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, just across the street from the
performance grounds. At least 59 people have died and another 527
victims were injured. How awful. Those innocent victims were just
enjoying a night of music and never expected something so horrific could
happen.
